for the "." issue: You can easily change any key of your Keyboard by biding it to another function. Just open ckb, select your device and desired profile, click on the "." key on the software, go to the biding tab and from there choose the one you want (it should be on the Typing menu). About the ctrl issue: since you're using mac, your OS just interprets the keys as a mac keyboard. Meaning that copying and pasting is command + c / command + v, which translated to a windows keyboard becomes 'win + c / win + v' The immediate solution is to remap the super key to the ctrl key. But I don't really recommend that: it will kind of mix all of the other shortcuts of the system. My recommendation is to really get used to it (it really isn't that hard, I made it xD). But if you are truly desperate, just map a new shortcut for this action and you're set (it will still possibly crash other shortcuts. Ctrl+C stops a terminal process, I don't know how it would work if you remap it).

I don't really think that not running as root would be a problem (unless you are logged in as root on your system). But not being able to even launch it is quite the problem. Did you install all the dependencies correctly (cmake, glibc, Qt5, libudev, zlib)?

Hi guys! I just got here, so I don't know yet if you guys said something like this before, but I am going to share my experience with a corsair keyboard and linux/macos. I own a Corsair K70 LUX RGB, and I've been using ckb-next for the past... 4, maybe 5 years? I also had the opportunity to try it on many different distros (ubuntu, mint, suse, arch, manjaro, elementary, and many a few others that I don't quite remember). Choosing my main distro became a matter of "which distro can at least work with the keyboard out of the box". Because many distros that I tried the keyboard would not work. I had a fight of over a year with elementary because I could not for the love of Linux make the keyboard work consistently. I would boot the computer, and some times the keyboard just would not work. Removing and plugging the usb a few times would eventually make it work though, but it was a pain. The important detail here is that once logged in, the keyboard would work just fine as long as ckb was running. I had this inconsistency problem only on the logging in screen. That's when I just gave up and just started using distros where the keyboard would work out of the box. And I give you two names: Linux Mint and Manjaro. Those were the only ones so far that I had absolutely no problems whatsoever.
